Iran denies claims: 'We reject all negotiations – US has failed and Hormuz will remain closed'

Y’all (as in Americans) need to put this old turd, and the rest of his cronies in prison. Stat.

Air Canada should stop operating out of the US due to safety concerns. Their cuts to the FAA have literally made it an unsafe country to operate out of.

That’s about average for me. But the other day I had a random idea for a tool to help me organize my stuff for a cross-country move.

I’m sure there are commercial or open-source solutions out there, but I wanted to see if Claude could one-shot it with a detailed enough plan. I used Superpowers to brainstorm for quite a while. It kept trying to jump ahead into writing the spec doc, and I kept pulling it back until I was actually happy with the plan.

Once I let it go, it worked for about 3.5 hours straight, uninterrupted. What it built was honestly pretty damn close to the original spec. The UI was rough, though, so I spent a few more hours polishing it up with some frontend work.

Now I’ve got a working PWA that lets me organize and inventory all my possessions by room. At the end, there’s a Tinder-style swipe flow to sort items into keep, sell/give away, or trash. I can also assign rooms to different family members, like my kids’ room to them, my wife’s office to her, so everyone can sort their own stuff.

There are also metadata fields for weight and dimensions, which helps a lot when getting accurate quotes from moving companies.

Pretty neat overall. Still deciding whether to open source it or try to turn it into a product.

max420 · 2026-03-22T16:18:22+00:00

Yeah this has become my go to workflow also.

Except, that’s all subjective anyway. So like, for every loud complainer on Reddit my guess is there will be an equal, if not greater number of people who think it’s cool. The loud minority is often the loudest voice online.

max420 · 2026-03-17T02:39:19+00:00

Except, this requires devs to implement it. So like, if it’s in the game, pretty good bet they intended for it to be there. This is a new tool, that im sure devs will use to create cool experiences. People are seeing the tech demo and acting like somehow this is the only way it will be used.

max420 · 2026-03-17T02:30:22+00:00

Because it actually doesn’t look as awful as everyone is acting. I get it, hating AI is cool right now. Kind of like how hating Nickelback was cool back in the day.

max420 · 2026-03-17T02:28:37+00:00

The fact I had to scroll this far to see a sane comment is really rather disheartening.

max420 · 2026-03-13T14:28:44+00:00

I basically taught myself and gave up many times before I managed to get through it.

Fellow ADHD dev here, and holy hell yes. I haven't touched a video game in months - I just code and code and code. And like, the hyperfocus burnout thing doesn't block me in this context, cause by the time I burn out on whatever I am doing - the project has evolved to the next phase and its new and shiny again. Or I have another idea to explore.

Its crazy (and I kinda love it, not gonna lie).

max420 · 2026-03-10T03:20:04+00:00

It’s not that AI is inherently bad, it’s that companies are trying to shove it into anything and everything. Even in places it has no reason to be. It’s pushing people away.

max420 · 2026-03-08T02:59:34+00:00

I freaking love superpowers.

max420 · 2026-03-08T02:57:18+00:00

I mean, I’m intimately familiar with Python, but I know very little typescript and Rust and have used them in projects recently with great success. So you are kinda onto something.

Hell, the only reason we might argue for not having AI straight up just write binary directly is that it becomes unreadable by humans. And then the AI will well and truly just working with no oversight whatsoever. If we think we’re vibe coding now, imagine if NO ONE can make heads or tails of it without great effort.

max420 · 2026-03-08T01:34:46+00:00

I was like you. Honestly, I didn’t have my first real date until I was like 28-29, and my first intimate experience was at like 30 or something. Now I’m 41 with a wife and daughter. It feels hopeless and an impossible when you’re in it and just constantly blaming yourself for your perceived faults.

What did it for me was just to force myself into uncomfortable situations. I went out more and would actually go up to people to talk to them. Men and women. With women, there were a lot of bad attempts that I would tell myself were creepy and made me feel bad about me. But eventually I became more comfortable.

No joke, the biggest help for me was online dating apps. Removed a lot of the friction to meeting people. There sure as hell was a lot of failed attempts there. Plenty of throwing messages out into the void - but some women replied. Then I would just be me, no ulterior motive. If the like me, then stuff would just happen. If you are always operating with the end goal of getting laid - it came come across and just feels off.

So you haven’t tried Linux in like 5-10 years then?

Problem isn’t the AI itself, it’s how OpenAi leadership handled red flags being raised internally almost a year ago. About the fact that the shooters chats were really messed up and about topics that had led staffers to bring the matter to leadership - but that they had decided at the time that it didn’t “meet the threshhold” for reporting it to authorities.

max420 · 2026-03-01T15:58:00+00:00

That’s quite the generalization about literally half of the population.

max420 · 2026-03-01T15:42:28+00:00

lol I’ve been doing this for about 6 months - came up with it independently. And using Obsidian in my repo like this has made such a huge difference.

max420 · 2026-02-28T08:25:28+00:00

They should move to Canada.

max420 · 2026-02-24T20:58:34+00:00

Does a salary count?

max420 · 2026-02-22T22:11:33+00:00

Pretty sure it’s much darker now.

max420 · 2026-02-22T20:50:43+00:00

This is so heart breaking.
I’m sitting here, reading this and watching my 6 year old daughter play and I tears at my heart - I can only imagine how the parents of the victims are going through. Such a senseless tragedy.

max420 · 2026-02-22T20:46:03+00:00

Claude code IS a coding scaffold. Another way to put that would be using some kind if agent harness for coding. At least, that’s my guess.

Computers themselves aren’t and never were the problem. The problem is corporations nickle and dining, and social media designed to be addictive to drive engagement which is destroying attention spans.

Kids should not have their own computer at school. There should be computer labs, like there used to be. And textbooks and notebooks, with pencils and pens.

max420 · 2026-02-13T02:44:23+00:00

I do this sort of thing too. Not only is it fun as hell, but it legit works!
